Hi All,

Looking for some help installing Titan on 10.4.8 Kernel 8.8.1, hope someone can help.

 

I am installing on a Pentium D 930 + Nvidia 6800 ( device ID = 00C1 )

 

Have installed the updated Omni (2nd Nov) as per instructions on Omni site, and the Titan kext does load OK but the system freezes at the following step

 

"System/Library/Coreservices/Loginwindow.app Login Window Application Started"

 

This is after a clean install of the Jas DVD with Semthex kernel.

 

Can anyone advise on how to resolve this?

 

Thanks

Same here, I tried a pair of things with no positive results... if someone have any insight on this, please post it or PM or something

I have just the same problem. I even flashed my card with a new bios from other manufacturer in order to change SUBVENDOR ID, but no success. The problem seems to be that Titan is not compartible with nv41 based cards (DEV ID: 00C1) at the moment. There is a chance however that it will work if DEV ID is changed for the one from for example 6800GT (people had success with these cards), but it is too risky. I did not try it yet. I guess I´ll give it a try this weekend. Just bought a new 7600GT and it works perfect. No mouse tearing or other probs. Thanks a lot to all of the guys, whose work made that possible: Art, Mifki, Semthex, Rufus, Jas, Omni, NP and others involved.

Its not too risky if you already did it once :spam:

one question...

 

on my geforce 7600 gt my dvi output works well and it supports dual link dvi for 30" inch monitors (under windows) i ordered a dell 30" monitor and hope that will work also under osx now... what you think,

is dual link dvi working, when my dvi output works with titan projekt?

I can assure you if your 7600GT's dvi output works and support dual link output too,

then, it should output 2560x1600 resolution to your Dell 30"

 

I just connected my 7900GT to my 30 incher and it just worked :spam:

Thanks aed0101, I think I will try it out. I was afraid that was my only solution, this card have problems with other drivers too.

 

But I will need to research this a bit, I never flashed a graphics card before.

7900GT and 7950GT confirmed working in the IRC room... if they're not working for you, there is probably something you're not doing right.

 

I can't test yet but once the AMD patch is out, I'll report my findings on an eVGA 7900GT CO

 

I am sorry for this annoing question but could anyone provide more information about how to make it work? I followed his instructions but no change here at all. Is is necessary to include the vendor ID or something like this? I am close and I am getting nervous about it! :)

Yes. Did it 3 times already and no changes.... How can I do to be shure I´m running the right kernel version? I was using JaS 10.4.7 and updated to JaS 10.4.8 with an Intel SSE3 processor.

 

This is killing me! I´m still wondering if I need to add my device_id or something like this on any place or the Titan.kext do this already.

are you using jas' 10.4.8 combo update that he release a little while ago? if you did than that release does not include the 10.4.8 kernel, still running the 10.4.4 kernel from your 10.4.7 install. Just wait a day or two when Jas releases a 10.4.8 DVD that should suit most computers. He's already had a few to test it and apparently there are just a few tweaks left. so just wait for this, install it and all will be well

Don't see any sign of titan.kext on omni's starchaser site. Can someone post a link to the file or has it been pulled?

It's there. Click the link "Projects/Titan" in the first post on his blog, then scroll to the bottom and there's the link called "November 2, 2006".

Thanks aed0101, this has cleared up my problem and I can stop mucking about until it's confirmed working.

My 7900 GT CO, is not working well, it has QE, CE but it works for 2 seconds then hangs for like 30seconds, then works again for another 2 seconds and then hangs again for 30-60 seconds and so on, anyone with a 7900 series have this such of problems?

 

I've fixed it, now its fully working, I just had to unplug my GMA950 plug from my monitor and now its working :)
